and will will be implemented with the state government's help or not.
The governor can hide his head in the sand but this law will be in place to give state residents the health care that they need.

This state and several others to begin are involved and it is increasing, unexpectedly, costs to the state. I think many more will back out once the political fires have settled. States have budgets as well as...oops,,,US does not have a budget...but most states do.
Another reason this law is just a complete unfunded boondoogle. As Chief Justice Roberts said on the SCOTUS ruling...
"“We do not consider whether the Act embodies sound policies. That judgment is entrusted to the Nation’s elected leaders.”
“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”
